Late Reports From Klondike Tell
of a Shortage of Provisions and
Certain Suffering.
The New Anstrian Premier Has Iformu.
lated a Plan Which He Believes Will
Brine Quiet Onn of Recent
Trouble.
New York, Nov. 29. A
dtspatcV
to the World from Havana says:
The World's first figures of Cuba's
starvation were timidly " moderate.
They showed the death of only 200,000
persens; but every painful fact un
earthed tends to prove them nearly
double that number. When the grim
returns are ail in it is now almost cer
tain that this Cuban massacre of the
nocents will reach 400,000. And
this awful number does not include
those killed in battle or the thousands
and thousands of women and children
who died of exposure, disease and mas
sacre in the swamps.
It now seems certain that more than
half a million people, for the most part
loyal subjects of Spain, have been
killed by the Spanish war in Cuba. A
week's trip through the provinces "of
Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has
tended to make moderate this tremend
ous extieme figure.
rhe figures of Spanish official reports
show but a part Qt the mortality. They
only give the number buried in conse
crated ground, and they do not five
that fully. And yet these officials ultra-Spanish
reports of burial permits
issued admit that in the , pro.vinco of
Santa Clara the'pe baye died and been
buried since Weylfer's fiat, 71,847 per
sons.
The
number of. people, for whose
existence Woyler is directly responsi-
ble is' 155.132 in Santa Clara province,
And of these he has killed 6.216, or
over one-half of them. Santa Clara
has so far been by far the least desti
tute of the provinces. It has many
cattle and not a very thick population.
Between it and the 53 per rent ad
mitted dead in Pinar del Rio are the
provinces of Matanzas and Havana,
with a 60 and 70 der cent mortality re
spectively. These percentages are es
tablished by tte actual figures of some
30 cities and towns. Applied to the
denser populations nf their respective
provinces, the total deaths since Wey
ler's "bando" will foot up. pearly . a
million. ' : ' '
J C. Berry, . opiv of iheivbest known
citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that
he cured himself of the worst, kindof
piles by using a few boxes of De Witt's
Witch Hazel Salve. He hai been trou

ana had used many different kinds of
so-called cures; butDe Witt's was the

An Indiana Town Completely Wrecked by
an Accidental Explosion.
Andersonvxlle, Ind., Npy. 26.
Chesterfield, Ind., was almost wiped
off the map at an early hour this morn
ing by an explosion- of 80 quarts of
nitroglycerine in an oil field half a
mile from town. James Gol's bouse)
300 rods distant, was torn to pieces.
The explosion tore a bole in the ground
down to' the water line. A three-ton
engine was torn to fragments, ana
every animal in the neighborhood was
killed instantly.
The little town of Chesterfield Is in a
mass of ruins. Every house was moved
f-om its foundation, and windows were
shattered, doors smashed in, every
light put out and the plastering shaken
from the walls. Several people were
shaken out of bed.
At Dalesville, two miles away, and
at Yorktown, five utiles distant, the
damage was almost as - great. Many
people were injured, and it is miracu
lous that many were not killed. The
shock was felt 15 miles away. ' The
damage cannot be estimated.

death by an infuriated mob of white
farmers near here last Thursday.
During the fall, a party of farmers
had been fishing on Cherry Grove
beach, near Little River, S. C. Mon
day, November 15, one of the farmer's
boys, named Stevens, left for his homo
on the Waccamaw river, with an ox
aad cart: He carried a package of
money. The father of Stevens went
home, but found that, nothing had
be ;n heard of his son since be had left
the beach.
It was learned that a negro, Nathan
Willis, had borrowed a gun and left
the beach shortly after Steven's son
had departed for home. A posse was
organized by the sheriff, and Willis
was traced about 30 miles to Town
Creek, N. C, where he. was found
last Wednesday, having in his posses'
sion Stevens' ox, cart and cloth hat
full of shot boles. He was carri?d by
the sheriff and posse on Thanksgiving
day back into South Carolina.
Reports come today that Willis was
taken from the sheriff on Thursday
night by a mob of infuriated farmers
and carried into the woods., where he
was chained between two pine trees
Light wood was piled around him and
he was burned to death.

VlEVNA, Nov. 26, The disorder in
the lower house of the reichsrath was
so accentuated today that a strong de
tachment of police bad to be called in
to preserve order. When the presi
dent of the house entered be was greet-
e l with vociferous shouts of '"Get out."
The leftists rose to their feet in a body,
: many of the deputies shrieked wildlv
' and an indescribable tumult followed.
: During the tumult, a social 'demo
crat, Herr Berner, made a rush for the
; president and a lively fist fhrht followed
i between Berner and the house at-
rtendants. Thereupon another focial
! democrat, Herr Rese), jumped upon
j the ministerial bench and hurrying to
the presidential -' chair, seized the
f papers which were'lyirig on the presi-
dent s desk and tore them to pieces,
while other social- democrats hastened
to Berner's assistance, occupied the
tribune and demanded satisfaction for
the attendants pummeling of Berner.
President Abrahamcis was compelled
to flee.
Subsequently the social democrats
and deputies indulged in a free figh't
and Berner was ejected from the bouse.
The . disturbers were eventually re
moved from the platform forcibly and
singly by the police.

PcJrtland, Noy. 28. Eight ince64T-
ary lodgiug-house fires within an hour
is the record of Portland last night,
and citizens have cause for congratula-
lion that a good portion of the city is
not this morning a heap of ashes and
smoking ruins.
An industrious and evil-minded man
of middleage made a desperate attempt
to lay it waste. In eight different
lodging-houses located at widely separ
ated parts of the city fires sprang up
almost at the same moment. They
were:
Occidental hotel. First and Morrison.
Lafayette . house, Third and Burn-
side.
Central lodging-house, Second and
Burnsido.
BurliDgton house, 451 .Third street.
.Columbia hotel, First and Clay.
American Exchange. Front nd Jef-
ers i.
Revere house, First and Madison.
Cosmopolitan house, 51 North Third.
What malign purpose actuated the
incendiary is uot revealed. That he
did not succeed in carrying it into ex
ecution is no fault of his, for he- laid
hLs pi ins with skill and consumm ate-.
desijrn, and sprung the mines he - had
set with a rapidity that is amazing.
The workings of the unknown man
were identical in each bouse, with one
exception, a,nd in each ease be . Is de
scribed with almost exact similarity,
establishing beyond question that but
one person is at the base of the whole.
He went first to engage his rooms be
tween 3 and op. M, and, . where seen
later, disappeared from the house a
short time prior to the commencement
of the fire.. In two or three instances
he was seen to carry into the room en
gaged a bottle, which contained the
kerosene used to ignito the building.
At the last room engaged, judgingthe
order by the time he appeared there,
be left two of the bottles - used, both
filled with kerosene. At one or two
places a candle device, by which he
was enabled to make a time fuse, . was
found.
He paid for his rooms in each case.

APPALLING! DISASTER.

San Francisco, Nov. 27. The ty
phoon .which swept' over the Philip
pine islands, October 6, caused one of
the worst disasters reported from .the
southern ocean in many years, if not
In the history ef that Fection of the
world.
The steamer Gaelic, from the Orient,
today brought letters and papers which
contain accounts of the ravages of the
tidal wave and wind. Whole towns
were swept or blown away. Fully 500
Europeans were killed, and it is es
timated that 6000 natives perished.
The storm first struck the island at
the Bay of Santa Paula, in the province
of Samar. It devastated tne entire
southern portion of the island.
On the 12tb, a hurricane reached
Leyte, and struck the oapital, Taoio
ban, with great fury. In less than half
an hour the town was a mass of ruins
The natives were panic-stricken. Four
hundred of them were buried beneath
the debris of wrecked, buildings, and
120 corpses of Europeans were - re
covered from the ruins when the native
authorities instituted a search for the
dead. ' '

Seattle, Wash., Nov. 29.-7-Twenty-flye
men arrived here, yesterday on the
City of Seattle,' direct, from Dawson
City. They were divided into two
parties, the last of which left Dawson
City October' 16. The ..various ' mem
bars of the party are reported to havo
brought out gold and drafts to the ag
gregate amount of $50,000.
All tell stories of a food shortage in
Dawson that is almost a famine. The
last person to leave Dawson was Jack
Dal ton. When Dal ton left the steam
ers Alice and Bella had reached there,
loaded light. It is said that the Bella's
cargo consisted of whisky and billiard
balls. She brought . no provisions
The Canadian mounted police char
tered ' the ' Bella and gave all who
wished free passage 1 to Fort Yukon.
The Bella is reported to have left
about October 12, with 200 men.
When the party left Dawson nothing
in the line of food could be purchased
there, except sugar, baking powder
and a little dried fruit, and every res
taurant in the town had closed.

Chilcat. . Jack Dalton, one of the best
known characters of the Klondike, pi
loted the party through, and it was
probably due to his guidance that the
trip was safely accomplished. Two
horses perished of starvation on the
way, and the men 01 tne party nad

THE IRON LIFE-BOAT.
Trials of Joseph Franels In Trying; to Per
feet the Llfe-Savlna; Appliance.
But such work as this, successful at
it-was, was only what we might call
amusement there was far more serious
work to perform. From 1830 to 1840 the
young man was spending all his spare
time and money at work upon a boat
. which should not only save lives but
which could not be crushed on the rocks
when the waves were hurling them
selves thoreward. His cork-lined boat
were successful, and were giving him
a world-wide fame as an inventor and
philanthropist ; but he felt that unless
he could inveut a boat of some other ma
terial than wood his object was but half
attained.
He resolved to try iron. Those of his
friends who knew of this step looked
upon him as many an inventor is
looked upon in our own day as little
less than a lunatic. Iron far a boat?
Why, it would take such a vast amount
of wood to float the iron that it would
be impossible to propel the boat to
say r.ot!iin; cf having it breast the
v.f.vcs of a furious gale and go out
tUroc-h tne storm to a wrecked ship!
The Idea, they said, was simply prepos
terous.- The young man acknowledged
tbo apparent force of the argument,
out he believed there was a way out of
the diiliculty. He started in. the path
alone. He found many cruel and dis
hcnrtccincr difficulties in the woy, but
he bravely rart all trouble, and he nobly
n:air.ta:ncd Iiii m.Tii purpose, and won
El last n magnificent victory, not only
for hansel f, but for all mankind.
In h'.a later years Mr. Francis loved
to tell of the trials of that critical time.
Amid his lr.ter honors he never forgot
(he days v. hcn at one moment he seemed
so near , to eucccss end nt another so
near to the saddest of failures.
It was now the year 1841. He had
taken bis fumily for he was married
to a country place where he could live
more cheaply than in the city He hod
the use of a room in a house on Anthony
street, in Ihecityof Xcw York, in which
to carry ou the work of his inventions,
by the favor of Myndert Vnn Shoick,
a gentleman who was much interested
in the outcome of the matter. Here,
shut in from all the world, in sore, pov
erty, lie worked for 12 months, a long,
discounting, weary year. The end to
be gained was to make iron float on
water, something which his best friends
thouprht the dream of a lunatic. Day
by clay and night by night he worked
eeosclcsHly. He denied himself all lux
uries, nil comforts. He met with failure
after failure.
. . He fouud himself one day at the close
of the year reduced to actual want and
his object not attained.; . He hnd but a
pittance in his pocket.. ..He was hun
gry, but he needed one more piece of
iron to make one last supreme effort.
He went out to a junk shop with his
last 25 cents. He bought his piece of
iron for 13 cents. With the restof the
money he bought bread and molasses.
All that night he worked. In the mora-
ir" ne lounu that tne rata had stolen
piece of bread which he saved for
bis breakfast, but .the labor of the night
had brought victory.- He had solved
the problem! He had conquered in the
fiercest battle of his life. He had
achieved the success he sought, and this
victory meant the saving of the lives
of many thousands of his. fellow-men.
The corrugation of iron, forming
ridges in lines along the sides of the
boat, had been invented. By this he
was enabled to make the iron float, for -
he could .bend it and shape it to the
curved form' of a boat, and the bend
ings or ridges in the sides took the place
of all stays; supports, ribs and timbers,,
furnishing in; themselves the fcupport
and strength... while nothing was added
to the weieht. . The metal was r"t
under great pressure to do this, but it
stayed in place, and the victory was
won. W. S. Ilarwood, in St. Nicholas.
